Hello everybody! Do you think that with the recent changes to certain radar missiles flight performances such as aim120, aim7, r77, mica, etc...it makes infared dogfight missiles underwhelming

It won’t
USA relies a lot on datalink and AWACS/ground radars

While in WT that’s not a thing
It’ll be very similar what what the F-15C GE or F-16 PooBIT have currently

The US has no need for high gimbal limits irl

f-35 AN/APG-81 is the best radar F15C GE radar isn’t even close

AWACS also needed to be tested the development team seems to be planning 5th gen first not AWACS the dev team did hint for cargo ships not AWACS and tankers that’s a start but not before 5th gen

Gripen :)

May i ask what exactly that statement is based on?

His mother

We know literally nothing about whether gaijin is adding AWACS or not
So we’re better off just assuming that they won’t add this

really bro

Overhauls to more missiles are coming.

Damn i didnt know i was talking to the son of Northrop GrumWoman

Yes?

so what’s the best radar

Sadly i left my security clearence for information on all major air forces in the world in my other pants so i dont know. I was just curious what you would base such a statement on.

well I’ve heard its the best I don’t think you or i can confirm that just like Chinese players couldnt confirm J-16 should have 300° gimbal width they got 140° instead so even snail will have to start using what northtop and Boeing and Lockheed say since its the best source

Thats it? I was at least expecting some kind of lecture on american technological superiority.
But genuinely why would it specifically be better than the ECRS Mk1/Mk2 for example?

CAPTOR E and/or Irbis on the Su-30SM2
Since gripen E’s radar seems to just be a captor E copy-paste you could add that too ig

So, you do realize that this statement makes anything you say entirely worthless?

but who said this?

Gimbal takes up space, and APG-81 uses more mature AESA technology.

In game gimbal is better for now though

as long as its not gimbaled it will still be 140° max (70°±)

range and power output will only matter if gaijin wants to model stealth correctly

The EFTs radar dome is also larger than the F35s

Why exactly?
